3ds xl was released in 2012
as of 2013, it is a 100% nintendo-owned subsidiary
nintendo’s south korean subsidiary was established on 7 july 2006, and is based in seoul
[123] in march 2016, the subsidiary was heavily downsized due to a corporate restructuring after analysing shifts in the current market, laying off 80% of its employees, leaving only ten people, including ceo hiroyuki fukuda
this did not affect any games scheduled for release in south korea, and nintendo continued operations there as usual
although most of the research & development is being done in japan, there are some r&d facilities in the united states and europe that are focused on developing software and hardware technologies used in nintendo products
although they all are subsidiaries of nintendo (and therefore first party), they are often referred to as external resources when being involved in joint development processes with nintendo’s internal developers by the japanese personal involved
this can be seen in a variety of “iwata asks
[126] nintendo software technology (nst) and nintendo technology development (ntd) are located in redmond, washington, united states, while nintendo european research & development (nerd) is located in paris, france, and nintendo network service database (nsd) is located in kyoto, japan
most external first-party software development is done in japan, since the only overseas subsidiary is retro studios in the united states
although these studios are all subsidiaries of nintendo, they are often referred to as external resources when being involved in joint development processes with nintendo’s internal developers by the nintendo entertainment planning & development (epd) division
1-up studio and nd cube are located in tokyo, japan, while monolith soft has one studio located in tokyo and another in kyoto
retro studios is located in austin, texas
nintendo also established the pokémon company alongside creatures and game freak in order to effectively manage the pokémon brand
was formed through a joint investment with hal laboratory, which was in charge of the kirby: right back at ya! animated series
for many years, nintendo had a policy of strict content guidelines for video games published on its consoles
although nintendo allowed graphic violence in its video games released in japan, nudity and sexuality were strictly prohibited
former nintendo president hiroshi yamauchi believed that if the company allowed the licensing of pornographic games, the company’s image would be forever tarnished
[127] nintendo of america went further in that games released for nintendo consoles could not feature nudity, sexuality, profanity (including racism, sexism or slurs), blood, graphic or domestic violence, drugs, political messages or religious symbols (with the exception of widely unpracticed religions, such as the greek pantheon)
[128] the japanese parent company was concerned that it may be viewed as a “japanese invasion” by forcing japanese community standards on north american and european children
despite the strict guidelines, some exceptions have occurred: bionic commando (though swastikas were eliminated in the us version), smash tv and golgo 13: top secret episode contained human violence, the latter also containing implied sexuality and tobacco use; river city ransom and taboo: the sixth sense contained nudity, and the latter also contained religious images, as did castlevania ii and iii
a known side effect of this policy was the genesis version of mortal kombat selling over double the number of the super nes version, mainly because nintendo had forced publisher acclaim to recolor the red blood to look like white sweat and replace some of the more gory graphics in its release of the game, making it less violent
[129] by contrast, sega allowed blood and gore to remain in the genesis version (though a code was required to unlock the gore)
nintendo allowed the super nes version of mortal kombat ii to ship uncensored the following year with a content warning on the packaging
in 1994 and 2003, when the esrb and pegi (respectively) video game ratings systems were introduced, nintendo chose to abolish most of these policies in favour of consumers making their own choices about the content of the games they played
today, changes to the content of games are done primarily by the game’s developer or, occasionally, at the request of nintendo
the only clear-set rule is that esrb ao-rated games will not be licensed on nintendo consoles in north america,[131] a practice which is also enforced by sony and microsoft, its two greatest competitors in the present market
nintendo has since allowed several mature-content games to be published on its consoles, including: perfect dark, conker’s bad fur day, doom and doom 64, bmx xxx, the resident evil series, killer7, the mortal kombat series, eternal darkness: sanity’s requiem, bloodrayne, geist, dementium: the ward, bayonetta 2, devil’s third and fatal frame: maiden of black water
certain games have continued to be modified, however
for example, konami was forced to remove all references to cigarettes in the 2000 game boy color game metal gear solid (although the previous nes version of metal gear and the subsequent gamecube game metal gear solid: the twin snakes both included such references, as did wii game madworld), and maiming and blood were removed from the nintendo 64 port of cruis’n usa
[132] another example is in the game boy advance game mega man zero 3, in which one of the bosses, called hellbat schilt in the japanese and european releases, was renamed devilbat schilt in the north american localisation
in north america releases of the mega man zero games, enemies and bosses killed with a sabre attack would not gush blood as they did in the japanese versions
however, the release of the wii was accompanied by a number of even more controversial games, such as manhunt 2, no more heroes, the house of the dead: overkill, and madworld, the latter three of which were published exclusively for the console
nintendo of america also had guidelines before 1993 that had to be followed by its licencees to make games for the nintendo entertainment system, in addition to the above content guidelines
[127] guidelines were enforced through the 10nes lock-out chip
the last rule was circumvented in a number of ways; for example, konami, wanting to produce more games for nintendo’s consoles, formed ultra games and later palcom to produce more games as a technically different publisher
[127] this disadvantaged smaller or emerging companies, as they could not afford to start additional companies
in another side effect, square co (now square enix) executives have suggested that the price of publishing games on the nintendo 64 along with the degree of censorship and control that nintendo enforced over its games, most notably final fantasy vi, were factors in switching its focus towards sony’s playstation console
in 1993, a class action suit was taken against nintendo under allegations that their lock-out chip enabled unfair business practices
the case was settled, with the condition that california consumers were entitled to a $3 discount coupon for a game of nintendo’s choice
nintendo is opposed to any third-party emulation of its video games and consoles, stating that it is the single largest threat to the intellectual property rights of video game developers
[135] however, emulators have been used by nintendo and licensed third party companies as a means to re-release older games, with virtual console, which re-released classic games as downloadable titles, and with dedicated consoles like the nes mini and snes mini
[citation needed ] on 19 july 2018, nintendo sued jacob mathias, the owner of rom image distribution websites loveroms and loveretro, for “brazen and mass-scale infringement of nintendo’s intellectual property rights
”[136] nintendo settled with mathias in november 2018 for over us$12 millionalong with relinguishing all rom images in their ownership
while nintendo is likely to have agreed to a smaller fine in private, the large amount was seen as a deterrent to prevent similar sites from sharing rom images
the gold sunburst seal was first used by nintendo of america, and later nintendo of europe
it is displayed on any game, system, or accessory licensed for use on one of its video game consoles, denoting the game has been properly approved by nintendo
the seal is also displayed on any nintendo-licensed merchandise, such as trading cards, game guides, or apparel, albeit with the words “official nintendo licensed product”
in 2008, game designer sid meier cited the seal of quality as one of the three most important innovations in video game history, as it helped set a standard for game quality that protected consumers from shovelware
in ntsc regions, this seal is an elliptical starburst named the “official nintendo seal”
originally, for ntsc countries, the seal was a large, black and gold circular starburst
the seal read as follows: “this seal is your assurance that nintendo has approved and guaranteed the quality of this product
” this seal was later altered in 1988: “approved and guaranteed” was changed to “evaluated and approved
” in 1989, the seal became gold and white, as it currently appears, with a shortened phrase, “official nintendo seal of quality
” it was changed in 2003 to read “official nintendo seal
the seal currently reads:[140]
the official seal is your assurance that this product is licensed or manufactured by nintendo
always look for this seal when buying video game systems, accessories, games and related products
in pal regions, the seal is a circular starburst named the “original nintendo seal of quality
” text near the seal in the australian wii manual states:
this seal is your assurance that nintendo has reviewed this product and that it has met our standards for excellence in workmanship, reliability and entertainment value
always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your nintendo product
in 1992, nintendo teamed with the starlight children’s foundation to build starlight fun center mobile entertainment units and install them in hospitals
[142] 1,000 starlight nintendo fun center units were installed by the end of 1995
[142] these units combine several forms of multimedia entertainment, including gaming, and serve as a distraction to brighten moods and boost kids’ morale during hospital stays
nintendo has consistently been ranked last in greenpeace’s “guide to greener electronics” due to nintendo’s failure to publish information
[144] similarly, they are ranked last in the enough project’s “conflict minerals company rankings” due to nintendo’s refusal to respond to multiple requests for information
like many other electronics companies, nintendo offers a take-back recycling program which allows customers to mail in old products they no longer use
nintendo of america claimed that it took
